A Measure of Success - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

It's all these darn adults not using enough [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] 's and !!!s, isn't it? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] No-one's been 'mean' and indeed the best discussion has emanated from Maika and Aman's posts. So thank you to those two, and thank you to Bethberry, Squatter and Cami for answering so beautifully.

Those three have it, with regards to Gondor. There are few games, and few people with the time to start and run one. This is not a great problem, Gondor was never intended to be busy. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Neither should anybody feel hurt or excluded. When Entish bow or its sequel finish, Esty and I are starting up a sequel to The Saving of the Seventh Star (a miniature RP at the bottom of the games in Gondor). This will be a large RP, and a slow one requiring a lot of planning and discussion, since it has some small ambition. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

The point being, that there are unlikely to be more than one or two games at a time, but those games are not closed shop. Do post in the Star - but well and thoughtfully. Then, when the Founders of a new game are looking for players they will see your posts, and perhaps will know you from interplay in the Star and you can apply or be invited.

The stronger writers not in a game in Gondor right now, should not fret. There are games available in The Shire and in Rohan and the 'hierachy of skill' (thanks to the hardwork of aforementioned moderators and good writers) is not as delineated as some would lead one to believe. As in, it's hardly that at all. And don't hesitate to PM me and ask a question, or ask if a post at the Star is appropriate etc.

If the other mods and Gondorians want to discuss other potential names for the List in Gondor, that would be a useful discussion also.
